Chapter 676: Chapter 79: Master-Accepting Plan, Lis hui Dragon Monarch_4
"Patrolling Immortal Envoy Su Yu, inspecting..."
The sonorous voice resembled distant thunder, echoing above the surface of this water region, causing ripples across the water.
In less than five minutes, the river parted, a large aquatic army formed an array and slowly rose, with a few beings, likely high-ranking members of the Dragon Palace, True Dragons, standing in the center.
Judging by their bloodlines and the cultivation level of True Immortal or Celestial Immortal, they should be the dragon children and grandchildren of the Dragon King.
A True Dragon in the center clasped his fists and bowed to Su Yu, loudly saying:
"Lishui Dragon Palace’s dragon child Ao Chang greets the Patrolling Immortal Envoy!"
The celestial boat descended, and Su Yu stepped out, flying in the air to the water surface, and said:
"Patrol Envoy Su Yu, on a routine inspection of Lishui Dragon Palace. Is the Dragon King present?"
"The Dragon King is waiting for the Immortal Envoy in the Dragon Palace."
"Lead the way!"
"Please!"
With a wide-sleeved wave from the dragon child, the river parted, creating a cavity large enough for the celestial boat to descend.
Su Yu nodded, returned to the celestial boat, and the aquatic army led the way in front, with the celestial boat following behind.
The celestial boat descended thousands of kilometers deep, finally seeing below, enveloped in a giant bubble, the vast palace complex stretching over a hundred kilometers, led by the aquatic army to a massive gate with four ancient seal characters reading ’Lishui Dragon Palace’.
At the gate, there were equally aquatic soldiers and dragon children waiting, but the Dragon King was not seen.
This was not surprising; after all, the Dragon King is a seventh-grade immortal official, no matter how much attention he pays, he would not personally greet a ninth-grade immortal official like him.
The difference in rank was too great, even though as a Patrolling Immortal Envoy, he ranked one level higher outside the Celestial Court.
Layer upon layer of receptions, until inside the Dragon Palace, they finally met Lishui Dragon Monarch Ao Tao.
He was tall in stature, wearing a purple-gold robe, jade dragon belt around his waist, double dragon horns on his head, and a purple-gold crown atop. He looked young but exuded a fierce aura, clearly someone with many demons’ lives in his hands.
However, facing Su Yu, his murderous aura was considerably restrained, and he cupped his hands, saying:
"I’m unaware of the honored purpose of the Patrolling Immortal Envoy’s visit to my Lishui Dragon Palace?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the two captains, Chen Yi and Chen Er, behind Su Yu, a look of uncertainty and surprise in his eyes.
Clearly, he could sense the unmasked powerful True Dragon Bloodline of Chen Yi and Chen Er.
Su Yu said in a deep voice:
"This envoy, while patrolling Lishui, sensed chaos within the Lishui water system, with many great demons wreaking havoc in the mortal realm. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the Dragon Palace has not fulfilled its duties, failing to restrain various aquatic spirits and monsters, hence the investigation."
Upon hearing this, Lishui Dragon Monarch prioritized explaining, disregarding the curiosity about the True Dragon Bloodline of the two Celestial Soldiers under him:
"Let the Patrolling Immortal Envoy be enlightened, that it is not due to my inaction, but truly there are too many unruly great demons causing disturbances within Lishui. This Dragon Monarch intends to restrain them but can only manage the Water Demons within my jurisdiction; those beyond my control cannot be restrained."
"Then why do you not muster forces to cleanse the Water Demons?"
Lishui Dragon Monarch sighed and said:
"It’s not that I am unwilling, but that I am powerless."
Su Yu asked curiously:
"You are a Celestial Court-appointed Dragon Monarch. What great demon can stop you? Could it be that there’s a Golden Immortal-level Demon King in Lishui?"
"There is not."
"Then I am curious, if there is no Golden Immortal Demon King, how could a few Profound Immortal-level great demons possibly resist you?"
At this point, a pained expression appeared on Lishui Dragon Monarch’s face:
"Let the Immortal Envoy understand, indeed there is no Golden Immortal Demon King in Lishui, only a few Profound Immortal-level great demons, which theoretically are not my match. However, this Lishui has two Demon Kings with extraordinary backgrounds, leaving this Monarch helpless."
Su Yu, hearing this, became interested and asked:
"Tell me, what are these origins that even the Celestial Court cannot counter?"
"One is a Water Ape, with late-stage Profound Immortal cultivation, a descendant of the Huai River Great Demon Wu Zhiqi, who commands two Profound Immortal great demons and millions of aquatic soldiers."
"The second is a Goldfish Spirit, with late-stage Profound Immortal cultivation, commanding one Profound Immortal great demon. But this Goldfish Spirit has an extraordinary origin, once a goldfish in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond of Ling Mountain. I don’t know how it escaped and came to Lishui to fall into the demonhood."
"Although it has turned to demonhood, relying on its origin, it established a connection with a major Buddhist sect on the shores of Lishui. Every time this Monarch attempts to eradicate this Goldfish Spirit, Buddhist experts come to block."
